Total potential development will only make this situation <br />worse. The city will be responsible to correct congestion problems on <br />TH10 directly attributable to commercial and industrial development in <br />the city. City of Ramsey would be responsible to correct such problems <br />caused by this level of development. The City is advised to closely <br />assess its zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan to insure potential <br />development will not negatively impact the Metropolitan Highway <br />System". (Defined as 90% of capacity at 1200 vehicles per lane.) <br /> <br />TH 10 volumes can be reduced through increased development of east-west arterials <br />and frontage road development. We have estimated that peak hour traffic can be <br />reduced by approximately 580 vehicles/peak hour based on the following: <br /> <br />ADT <br /> <br />Peak Hour <br /> w/65% <br />Directional <br /> Flow <br /> <br />South frontage road 1,500 98 <br />North frontage road 1,500 98 <br />CSAH 116 4,410 287 <br />153rd 1,500 98 <br /> 581 <br /> <br />Reducing the base condition by 580 vehicles yields: <br /> <br />City: 2292-580 -- 1712/2400 = 71.3% of TH10 capacity <br />MC: 3650-580 = 3070/2400 = 127.9% of THlOcapacity <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
